Hi,

I have a 2007 Avalanche LTZ like the title says. I just replaced the compressor and rear shocks about 1.5months ago. While subsequently changing the brakes I noticed the bladders on the rear shocks were already blown out... ugh. I got them warrantied and took them in to the shop to have them replaced. The shop is saying I need front shocks also, and he recommends not putting the rears on until I do the fronts. I'm under the impression the front doesn't have air and shouldn't affect the rears... Is there any reason I'm wrong on this? Also, could something else be wrong in the system that would have caused the recent ones to blow out that quick?? They are the ACDelco 580-451 OEM replacements. Thanks in advance for any help you can give, as this is getting frustrating quickly, and expensive!

- 2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.
  
  By Jsdirt · Posted 1 minute ago
  
  Well that's progress! Nice. Man! I hate all this modern crap! Nothing is simple anymore! Since you've tried known-good MAFs, I'm betting on something being missing on one of the 5 wires. Disregard the IAT sensor wires, and focus just on the MAF wiring. Power, ground, signal return. Something isn't right on one of them. I'm doing a carb conversion on a 1994 vehicle right now. Everything is simple, and just works! If something doesn't work, you MAKE it work! Glad to be out of the industry, that's for sure - I don't miss the computer crap!

  Just an update, I bought a one VIN subscription to sps2, installed the PCM from the 2007 donor vehicle and programmed it. It started right up, and seems to run more normally now (It doesn't die as soon as you start it, it just starts and runs every time, no more misfires too), however, the MAF is still showing the same strange readings.
- Light Up the Trail From Above: 50" PRO for the Hummer EV
  
  By mandrautomotive · Posted 47 minutes ago
  
  Hey everyone, For anyone looking at roof-mounted lighting for the Hummer EV, we wanted to share our M&R Automotive 50" PRO Roof Light Bar for the 2022+ GMC Hummer EV. The curved 50" bar sits close to the windshield rather than sticking way up above the roofline. The mounting position is designed to keep the setup relatively streamlined while minimizing wind noise and maintaining full use of the factory windshield wipers. A few details: 50" curved PRO light bar Fits 2022–2026 GMC Hummer EV Spot + driving beam pattern TIR optics White main beam Amber DRL backglow Approximately 15,410 measured lumens through the lens Mounts to factory accessory locations No cutting or drilling required Wiring runs down the A-pillar toward the AUX connections Designed to minimize wind noise Lifetime warranty Off-road use only The 50" is an interesting middle ground for anyone who wants the visibility and mounting position of a roof bar without stepping all the way up to the larger 60" setup. For the Hummer EV owners here, would you go with the 50" for the lower-profile look or step up to the full 60"?

  Yeah, I've given up years ago with that! I was able to load a few when I first joined the site sometime around '07. Then after maybe 20 pics, it said I exceeded the limit. Now every pic I try to post says I've "exceeded 1mb". ONE MB??? That's Windows 95 ******, lol!!
